Rand Paul Set to File Class-Action Lawsuit Against NSA

Republican Sen. Rand Paul says he's ready to file a much-anticipated class-action lawsuit against President Barack Obama and the National Security Agency over its massive collection of data on millions of unsuspecting Americans.

The Hill reported that the potential 2016 GOP presidential contender will file suit Wednesday in Washington, D.C., district court as a private citizen, and hopes the case will wind up before the U.S. Supreme Court.

“I am filing a lawsuit against President Barack Obama because he has publicly refused to stop a clear and continuing violation of the Fourth Amendment,” a statement from Paul's political action committee asserted.
